Color of Change launches petition to cancel the show "Cops"

[MrScorpio]

16. I had cop once tell me that his chief would never want COPS to shoot his department

"Why would we allow our screw ups to broadcast on national TV?" this officer pointed out.

The Department in question was actually one the I respected because its officers were trained in community policing techniques that encouraged less militarism and non-confrontation. Something that you'd rarely see in other departments.

The funny thing about COPS, when I first got back from my four years in Europe, I watched the show with new eyes. I wondered why these cops were fucking with people for absolutely no reason at alll.

That cop whom I talked to about the show also told me that it routinely features poor police procedure.

I came to the conclusion that any department on the show was more than likely poorly run and are trying to use it as a propagandandistic publicity ploy in order to gloss over their problems. These departments on the show, one would be well advised to not come into any contact whatsoever.
